Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is one fantastic gaming system. Plays my favorite games with not a single issue. Worth every penny.

The original Ally was a disaster for me. Not just because of the absyminal battery life but having just a single USB port meant that often times while I was restoring large Steam backups from the USB drive the console battery would get depleated. I returned the SteamDeck for the same reason and don’t understand how people can live with this. I also don’t understand why some people prefer the steamdeck over this considering the ally x is more powerful and can play all your PC games. When I had the steamdeck I realized I couldn’t play over 80% of my games because they were not compatible. Even some of the verified games were not playable. If you don’t like Windows just install Bazzite OS and you’ll get 95% of the SteamDeck OS experience for more battery life and power. The only thing I liked more about the deck over the ally was the ergonomics. Sure, the Ally X is still not perfect. Besides Windows being bloatware nowadays, it still suffers from some firmware/software quirks like console not powering on sometimes, appearing to be stuck at boot, or failing to calibrate the controllers properly. Luckily for me all these were solved by just retrying the procedure. Some reviewers also reported issues with getting LCD with bad pixels, triggers having uneven feel, rumble motor misbehaving, or buttens being squeaky. Luckily the console I received has been flawless in these regards. I recommend that if your console works fine for you, then do NOT upgrade the firmware/BIOS as in the best case will only fix some obscure issue you did not run into, or worst case introduce a new issue which will prevent your from enjoying the console until a fix comes along.

Booting up, installing what I needed and playing was smooth as butter. No issues or bugs, runs very well on extreme graphics for most games. Very satisfied.

I got to say it i like the steam deck alot, But when it comes down to raw performance the ally x is it. If you play on the deck and wish you had just a bit more power with out doubt the rog will do it for you my games are running almost twice as fast and great screen clarity. Im sure valve will eventually bring out a improve version of the deck but till then ally x all day. The steam deck is way more user friendly.

Love this! I can't sit at a console and game so I picked this up. Runs Steam well (plus other systems) and is adjustable. Screen, although not OLED, is still very bright. I'm not a hardcore gamer, but have been very pleased with this.

Was really good in performance and battery would get again if need it

Amazing product definitely recommend it! Good to play steam games on when your not at home or when you don’t wanna sit at your desk in your room!

Nice upgrade from rog ally. Sd fixed. 2 usb and more ram and battery life

What a great way to be lazy on the couch or in bed but dont have a console. The battery life is very good and the cpu is a monster. The steam based games arent super optimised on the Ally but windows launched games run terrific. Each game takes a little bit of tinkering for the graphics settings but you can find all of those online. Just make sure you update it fully. I do recommend this handheld if money isnt a big issue for you.

Playing the latest PC games with great fps. Screen is great. Domt ket the reviewers fool you. The audio is great too. Not too basey but the sound is like 3d audio. Sometimes i swear sounds are coming from behind me. Def recomend

I was looking forward to getting the Ally for quite a while and when I had finally gotten it I installed all my games and it did good. Not excellent, but good. The reason why I ended up getting rid of it was when I ran Rainbow 6 siege on it, the system would overheat and shut itself off mid game. I lowered the graphics settings and was in a cooler environment also I wasn't blocking any fans. It continued to shut itself off after about 30-45 mins of gameplay everytime. I definitely wouldn't recommend as a main gaming system, just something for much lighter games. I ended up trading this for an older laptop with less ram and was much happier with the laptop.

Literally my PC for digital Art AND games like a dream. Pretty much makes the original Rog Ally look like its just the Beta version.

The Asus rog ally x I have to say is a great hand held PC. I had the original ally upgrading to the ally x I have to say this product is extremely overpriced i really didn’t see any performance upgrade besides the battery.

Significant upgrade, in my opinion. It's played everything I've thrown at it, and getting in a round or 2 of the call of duty on my lunch break is priceless. If Xbox is your main console, then it's a no-brainer because PC Gamepass is implemented flawlessly. Gog, Epic, Steam, and Amazon games give a lot of options. I went from Steam deck to the Og Ally, and i think the X is the version that i roll with until Microsoft makes one.

Incredible device. Love how well the Ally X handles most games. Now this is my first handheld pc but after using the Steamdeck a bit, I’d pick this hands down

Much better battery life and memory than original Z1 Ally

Honestly I wasnt sure what to expect with this handheld but its been everything i could imagine

Such a great device for the price. I've played so many titles on this now - considerably better than Steam Deck. I would recommend installing Bazzite on this device to make it run smooth with steam

Super fast and good battery. The frames are plentiful

I use it daily when on the go, the ease of use it has to just have access to everything I'd want to play is hand's down worth the money.
